The Official Work Pictures Thread

Pretty sticky alright Gary. A lot of times we'll come back the next day and have frogs, lizards and all manner of bugs stuck to 'em. I tell my partner that one day we'll come back and find a barefooted kid there with both feet stuck to the stump.

Did a solo job yesterday and the day prior...well, me, the Ogre, and Kiki the chipper.

Blackberry covered lot with some mounds of debris from the failed tree, which was mostly cleaned up, and a gulley.

Stormwater infrastructure an home site development resulted in 12' of fill being put into the lot. One tree failed during a wind storm this winter.

The bucket cleared the blackberries and filled the gulley, and stump hole from the failed tree.

3 mounds of logs stacked for hugelkultur beds http://www.richsoil.com/hugelkultur/

I rigged out the big maple and free-dropped the small one.

I was double-whip tackled one 30' top, when it laid up on the tips at the base of the tree. As I was cutting it apart, hanging, it got away from me, flopping, slow-mo toward the house, smashing a couple fence boards. A quick fix today, and get the loader out.

Day and a half-into it.




I didn't get any before pics, and only started with pics part way through. Had I not broken the fence board, or moved all the logs into hugelkultur mounds, I'd have been done, but the money was good enough to put some gravy work in.

The HO is in her 60's, and didnt' really have a plan for moving things. I wouldn't have tried moving those by hand, myself. I don't know what she would have done, except have a big pile of logs sitting around forever. Hopefully she can manage the blackberries and replanting trees.

I took the chipper up to the brush, blew chips for mulch, and roughly spread them with the bucket.

Hella pics!!

 

[PCTREE]

nice pics all.

Bix I used to use creative rigging, I now just use a Grove

 

[Bixler]

Yeah yeah... I WANT A GROVE!!! A Cali legal grove is impossible to find

 

[PCTREE]

I have a product that I want to develop that would make any diesel engine Cali legal...... Just don't have the cash to do it

 

[Merle Nelson]

Paul, the market for that would be over the top huge. CA is the eighth largest market in the world (I've heard.) That would be worth having some big company back you and run the patents through quickly and you get a percentage.

And everywhere else will go the way of CA on this too.

Brian, Ive watched your progress over the years and you've got my respect mate. But what's going on in this pic....the safe block thing in particular? Thanks
